Ok Linus already applied your patch. Even though it's a really bad fragile hack, not better than the old bug. Petr are you double sure you really tested with ab144f5ec64c42218a555ec1dbde6b60cf2982d6 already applied? I bet not -- it is the symptom exactly fixed by this patch (although Linus, I would prefer if you reverted b8d3f2448b8f4ba24f301e23585547ba1acc1f04 again -- it should really not be needed with ab144f5ec64c42218a555ec1dbde6b60cf2982d6 And I really dislike Petr's patch because while it might work today (I'm not 100% sure it actually works to only replace 2 bytes) if we change memcpy ever it'll likely cause strange problems again. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
